Blown a seal
« on: November 07, 2006, 17:07:48 »
I have a 90 thats been retro fitted with a rangerover V8 and what I believe is the LT95 box (4 speed with the vacum diff lock)

I'm in the process of reconstruction as a trialer as the previous owner never maintained it and the seal is gone at the back of the box releasing oil into the handbrake.

is there anything I need to be aware of? I have the prop off and the drum and shoes, so ready to go whenI get the seal.

Nothing truely nasty, there should be a catcher for any oil leak to run the oil out of the brake drum and down the outside of the backplate.

I don't think oil leaking will be an issue, IF there is any oil in there, the landy is on its side anyway (easiest way to weld the chassis) :wink:

Thanks for that though, its good to know there should be no shocks
